susan rice is a long-time friend and ally of the president whose name was floated very early on as a favorite for secretary of state. ultimately, though, before anybody was nominated for the position, the white house sort of backed down from the prospect of nominating her. they allowed her to take her name out of the running when republicans attacked her for the grave, grave crime of saying something wrong on sunday morning talk shows. something that by the way turned out to be mostly correct. but never mind, they criticized her anyway, and the white house did not back her up in the face of that criticism, and her name was removed from consideration. now, faced with another high profile nominee who has attracted loud republican nomination, this time it appears the white house is not backing down. this time president obama has officially nominated chuck hagel to be secretary of defense as of today. interestingly, another potential nominee for a big high profile national security job for this white house who president obama reportedly initially wanted, but who also backed off from was

susan rice was very clearly the preferred candidate for the secretary of state position before john kerry. and so i don't think the president is you know, starting out saying well, i need an african-american woman in this slot and that's where i should start. or in the case of the position of the secretary of defense, another leading candidate happened to be michele flournoy who is a friend of mine and i think she would have been a competent leader. i think hagel will be a better leader. the reason to appoint her was not because she was a mother and a woman. the reason to an point michele four no is body who knows the pentagon. that's where we need to begin our discussion about all of these candidates. not their ethnic background or gender, but rather what they bring to the job. i think there's a great deal of diversity out there. just like at the roulette wheel, the president came up with three caucasians at the front but it's pretty good to bethel diversify the rest of the cabinet. >> let's talk about chuck hagel. ump just speaking about him as the nominee for secretary of defense. i th
